Running Outside

Pounding the streets of Hoylake and beyond.

Tide in, wind out

Did the brickworks circuit today. Would have been nicer along the prom to home if it wasn’t quite so windy. It’s been worse but it was still a decent breeze.

Also, used my Polar this morning to do the fitness test thingy. However, because I didn’t bother reading the instructions properly, it didn’t tell me what I was expecting. I thought it told me what my average heart rate was for the test - it doesn’t (or doesn’t seem to anyways).

It gave me a score of 42 - which is “moderate” - not happy with that, “good” would’ve been my expectation. What I was really after was how low my resting heart rate was - but I didn’t look at the Polar whilst lying on the bed. Did spot a figure of 52 at one point - but I’d hope for something in the 40s.

I’ll do it again at some point. Think I was tired this morning anyway after a late night out at the cinema - The Inside Man - good film.
